' Application filed August 17,1921. Serial No. 493,064.

To all whom it may concern:

. Be it known that I, HENRY L. BIESEMEYEK, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'lopeka, in the county of Shawnee, State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Combined Curtain and Shade Bracket; and

I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. p

The invention relates to combined shade and curtain brackets and has for its object to provide a device of this character comprising slidably engaged elongated members, said members having their outer ends provided with shade receiving brackets and foldable curtain pole supporting brackets, also to provide spaced spring arms adjacent the foldable curtain brackets for engaging in the ends of a curtain rod of the extensible telescopically engaged pipe type having right angled arms at its ends.

A further object is to provide a spring arm carried by one of the sections, which spring arm is provided with an angled portion which cooperates with apertures in the other section for holding said sections in extended position.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combined shade and curtain bracket showing the same applied to a window frame.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the combined shade and curtain pole bracket, showing a shade roller and a curtain pole in dotted lines thereon.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken;

on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the outer end of one of the movable members showinga conventional form of curtain pole bracket applied thereto. V

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view through portions of the bracket sections, showing the spring arm means for locking said sections together. i 1 Figure 6 is a perspective view of one of the pivotally mounted curtain pole supporting brackets.

Referring to, the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a conventional form of window frame and 2 a combined shade and curtain pole bracket. Bracket 2 is formed from elon ated members 3 and 4, which members slidziibly engage each other by means of the flanges 5 and may be extended any distance desired and securedto the window frame 1 by means of screws 5., which screws pass through apertures 6 in the members 3 and 4 and into the window frame 1. Apertures 6 are preferably elongated as shown and provided with an enlarged portion 7, through which the heads of the screws 5' may pass and the shanks of the screws allowed to move into the elongated aperturese and the bracket as a whole supported by said screws. The section 4 adjacent one end thereof is provided with a spring arm 8, which terminates in a right angled portion 9 extending through an aperture 10 in the member 4 and adapted to be received by any one of the apertures 11 in the member 3 for bold ing'the members 3 and 4 in various extended positions.

The ends of the members 3 and 4 are provided with vertically the upper ends of which rolls the vertically disposed arms 14 of the horizontallydisposed curtain pole brackets 15 are received, said brackets terminating in upwardly extending arms 16 which extend through aper tures in the curtain pole 17 and support the When the curtain pole 17 is out of use brackets 15 may be dispensed with and folded inwardly against the window frame 1, or if so desired the brackets 18 as shown in Figure 4 may be attached to the members 3 and 4 by means of bolts 19 which pass through the brackets 18 and through apertures 20 in said members 3 and 4. When brackets 18 are used, it will be seen that rigid supporting brackets for supporting the curtain are used, and that said brackets which are of a conventional form may be easily and quickly attached to the members 3 and 4.

At the present time there is on the market a horizontally disposed curtain pole, which disposed rolls 13, in

curtain pole is formed from telescopically engaged tubular members having right angularly disposed portions at their ends, which portions receive lugs carried by a window frame, which lugs support the curtain pole. To provide for means for supporting this type of curtain pole, an example of which is indicated in dotted lines in Figure 2, and by the numeral 21, plates 22 are secured adjacent the outer ends of the members 3 and l, said plates being provided with outwardly extended spaced arms 23 which engage'in the ends 24: of the curtain pole 21 and support said pole. Shade brackets 25 aresecured to the sections 3 and 4 and support a shade roller 26 in the usual manner.

Fromthe above it will be seen that a combined shade and curtain pole bracket is provided, which bracket may be quickly and easily attached to a window frame in such a manneras not to damage the same,

and that said bracket is so constructed that the various k1nds of curtain poles commonly in use may be recelved and held, also the deviceis simple in construction and the parts reduced to a minimum.

The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1- A combined shade roller and curtain bracket for windows, said bracket romprising elongated members slidably connected together, the outer ends of said members be ing provided with vertically disposed in tegral rolls, horizontally pivoted curtain pole supporting members pivoted in the .upper ends of .said rolls shade pintle receiving brackets caried by said members for supporting a shade roller, a spring arm carried by the outer elongated member, said spring arm being provided with a right angled lug extending through an aperture in the outer member and cooperating with one of a plurality of apertures in the other elongated member for securely locking said members together.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HENRY l1. BIESEME YER.
